Description

Finely potted stoneware bowl with slightly everted and unglazed mouth rim. Body bows out along the middle and sharply tapers towards the unglazed foot and base. The bowl is covered with a white slip and soft opaque yellowish green celadon glaze. An incised double band of lines encircles the lower half of the exterior with incised petals rising from the base. Five spur marks are visible in the centre of the bowl, with freely drawn graffito designs surrounding them. Fine white biscuit.
